PORTABLE REVOLVING BEAK-HORN SPECIFICATION forming part of LettersPatent No. 308,084, dated November 18, 1884. Application filed April 9,1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDWARD MANSFIELD, ofOrono, in the county of Penobscot and State of Maine, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Portable Revolving Beak Horns;and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, that will enable others skilled in the artto which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had tothe accoin-' panying drawings,forming a part of this specifieation.

My invention consists ofa portable beakhorn for blacksmiths use, whichis so constructed as to have several differently-shaped horns attachedto or cast or formed integral with one common cylindrical or othershaped stand or trunk, which stand is so attached to a base as torevolve freely upon it.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is an elevation or front view ofmy invention, in which the stand or trunk A is shown partly broken awayto show more distinctly the construction. Fig. 2 is a top view or planof my invention. 0. Fig. 4. is a side view of the horn E.

In said drawings similar letters refer to corresponding parts.

A is the trunk or stem. 13 is a base. 0 D E 1 are variously-shapedhorns. G is a screwbolt by which the trunk is attached to the base. H isa male half of a coupling. I is a female part of the coupling.

In construction I provide a base, 13, of any desirable shape, butpreferably circular, and large enough to give a good bearing inproportion to the height and size of the stand or trunk. On the base Iform a male part, H, of a coupling, H 1, extending upward, and I formthe recess a in the bottom of the base, and make ahole from the recess aup through the part H, and provide the screw-bolt G to hold the partstogether. I then construct the trunk A, formed with the flanged bottom AA, and-having the recess or female part of a coupling, I, formed in thelower end, and having the horns O D E F preferably cast upon or madeintegral with the trunk A. These horns are of different shapes andsizes, to allow of forging or welding small articles upon them.

In the drawings, of equal width at the trunk than at D is shown flat ontop and the ends, but is deeper at small articles which will not Fig. 3is a side view of the horn the outer end in elevation.

O is square and tapering both ways from the trunk. F is round andtapering from the trunk, and E is oval and tapering. The male part H isfitted to the female part I of the coupling, and the parts are securedtogether by means of the bolt G, as shown. The parts are arranged tomove easily and freely, and the trunk A is revolved at pleasure.

The whole invention is small and light, and is designed to be used on orabout the forge in a blacksmith s shop, and to be convenient to carryabout to any part of the shop.

In operation the invention is placed on the forge or bench, and thetrunk A revolves at the will of the blacksmith, presenting such horn asmay be desired.

In most blacksmiths shops there is some kind of a beak-horn, consistingof a single shape attached permanentlyto some piece of wood, or stuckinto some hole in the anvilbloek when used; but this invention can beused independently, and is very convenient for taking on to the forge.There are many retain the heat sufficiently to carry them to the anvilto forge, and this beak-horn is intended to supply some,- thing whichcan be taken to either the forge or bench, and supply a want longfelt'in the blacksmiths shop.

I do not claim a simple single beak-horn; but

What I do claim, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is I 1. Aportable beak-horn formed with a base, B, upon which is coupled theflanged trunk having a plurality of horns of different shapes, and soformed and attached to the base B by the bearing H I and fastened withthe boltG as to revolve upon it.

2. In a portable revolving beak-horn, the combination of the base B,connected by the bearing H I, bolt G, revolving flanged top or trunk A AA, and horns O D E F,whencon1- bined and used as shown and described,and all substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this5th day of April, 1884.

EDWARD MANSFIELD.
